, a WATChMAKER'S FAME.

P. S. Bartlett was one of the origi.
nal foremen in the pioneer Waltham
factory, and his name was adopted a.
trademark and has been running as
such very nearly thirty years. At the
lowest calculation 100000 Bartlett
watches have been made and sold.
The exact figures are not at hand, but
this is about as near as can be esti-
mated The Bartlett watch is unques-
tionably one of the most popular
watches ever made. It ranks almost
as high as the adjusted Appleton,
Tracy & Co.," and is, in fact, con-
structed on the same model. The pat
ent regulator Bartlett is full jeweled,
has compensating balance fitted with
the Waltham patent Breguet hair
spring, which is hardened and tenn
pered in form SO as never to change its
curve, and is very closely regulated. 1t
is made for any kind of silver or gold
cases. The latest improvement in the
Bartlett watch is in the open-face style
to wind and set without ever openin o
the case, the winding as well as the
hand-setting being done by the crown
only. Unlike the arrangements in 9TH
or watches this Bartlett hand-set is in
the neck OF the case, SO that it does not
at all complicate the movement. Up
ward of 1000 of them have been pur-
chased by the British Government dur
ing the past ten years and are used on
the state railways in India For the
same purpose the colonial authorities
of New South Wales, Victoria and
South Australia have large orders in
hand. Through these excellent time
keepers P. S. Bartlett's name is known
in all civilized countries-M 7. JeUeL-

SHADOWTOWN.

Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for Shadowtown;
1t always sails at the end Of day,
Just as the darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, ON my shoulder, so;
A sleepy kiss Is the only fare;
Drifting away from the world We go,
Baby and In the rocking chair.
See, where the fre-Iogs glow and spark,
Glitter the lights OF the Shadowland;
The winter rain on the w1ndow-harki
Are ripples tapping upon its strand
There. where the mirror is glancing dim,
A lake lies shimmering, cool and still;
Blossoms are waving above its brim-
Those over there on the window-sil.
Rock slow, more slow in the dusky light;
Silently lower the anchor down.
Dear little passenger say: Goodnight
We've reached the harbor Of ShadowtOwn-

CHEAP IRON,

A free-trade contemporary thinks
there is an advantage to workingmen
in large importations of iron because
the price of iron is kept down by
such importation. 1t is just as inn
portant, says our free-trade contem-
porary, that our laborers shall buy
cheaply the iron which enters into
nearly all their handicrafts, rs that
they shall get cheaply anything else
they consume. The relative import
ance Of cheapness in articles of con-
sumption depends mainly upon the
amount of each article consumed. 1t
is more important to laborers that
breadstuffs, coal, meats, clothing
and such shall be cheap, than that
iron shall be cheap because the
former absorbs much larger part
of their earnings. But the real
question presented by the recent
large importations of iron is if it is
wise to import material that might
as easily have been made at home.
The European manufacturer gets the
benefit of orders which, if kept at
home, would have enabled our iron
manufacturers to increase their force
of laborers. 1t is understood that
the heavy orders of the past six
months are due to an unexpected
demand which our manufacturers
were not prepared to fill. This un-
expected demand sent the prices up
to point at which iron could be i'm
ported at profit. A rise of two or
three dollars ton on iron from what
may be termed manufacturers prices
warrants importations. The foreign
manufacturer can pay the duty and,
with his cheaper labor, still do a
living business. 1t would be in
teresting to know how much the
three dollars per ton which warrants
the importation of iron enters into
the ordinary expenditures of the
laboror. How much better off is he
with iron at $27 ton then at $50?
But the laborer is better off when
the bulk Of our iron is made at home
then when it is imported.-LS. F..

HOME TRAINING FOR chi DsEn.

a mothers face brightens home
like sunbeam, Or shadows it like O

be pleasant and good-tempered /;
after little IL will become habitual.
Never let any of the family see that
they can annoy or fret or worry you.
A mothers looks are children's
looks, her life their living poem.
You educate your children morally
Ivy your looks and manners. The
mother should be an optimist, should
always see the silver lining to the
dark cloud. When clouds of trouble
overshadow the little faces, her
face should be the sun shining
through.
Teach religion at home; teach
morals and manners at home, if you
mean they shall have good ones !;
but don't try to do it by dogmatiz-
ing. Have order and system, but
don't have too many rules. Don't
depend on church and Sunday
schools to teach the children reli-
gion. They are helps, but no good
unless practice at home comedies.
Rules are no benefit if allowed to he

namely: "Do as you would be done
by" and never let an opportunity
pass to illustrate it by practical eX-
ample. Enforce promptncss and
diligence in work and study. Guilt

ence for parents, for age, for per-
sons in authority. Reverence is the
foundation of good manners. The

the training of young America" is
reverence. One cannot he we'll
hammered without it.
Above all, disrespect for parents
is the one objectionable sin that
must never be excused. Correct the

well as all the intermediate ones.
If a parent allows disrespectful

other and another will follow till the
habit is formed that cannot be sue.
